In Search of a Game Changer
Moshe Behar | 17.06.2020
Israel's endgame appears to go beyond de facto or de jure apartheid. Two actions might help avert further catastrophes and maximise prospects for full equality and democracy.

Israel-GCC Relations: What is the Price of ‘Regional Peace’?
Katie Wachsberger | 29.03.2020
In light of shared concerns regarding Iran’s growing influence in the region, as well as the threat of radical Islam, Israel has fostered discreet diplomatic and economic relations with several Arab nations in the Gulf.
